LONG DISTANCE DIALING-SPEEDS,UF SERVICE
Dialing a telephone number -in
aa► distant city directly is the-lat-'
est method introduced to. speed
up long instance service.
In the earlyclays of the 'tele-
. phone,when iwas not possible
to speak to a person more than a
hundred a mules away—exceptwhen
d,
"atmospheric conditions" •were
extraordinarily good—a call from
Montreal to Toronto was a
lengthy undertaking. On some
occasions, the message was re-
layed from. operator to operator
in the various towns and, cities
' `r reached
.- it -until e
route u
alongthe
l ea
me and the -reply c nie back .
•
by the . same method.
The relay system was' soon
made unnecessary by 'the rapid'
advance of the telephone art, but.;
there was still the difficulty of
obtaining- the --connection.=-Not_
• many years ago,'a caller had time
to go out and play a game of
golfin between asking to be con-
nected with a subscriber in a dis ;
, Stant city and actually talking to
him. Gradually,. year by year, im-
pproved methods and equipment
have„ that waiting time.
.Last
year,60 per cent ofalong
,ce clls andled
by The Bell ..
Telephone Company _ of Canada
were ompleted while the calling
subscriber remained at, the tele-
phone. The average time for 'mak-
ing the connection was 84 sec-
onds! a
Experiments arla. still under
way to cut a few more seconds
from the . connection time.Special
circuits have been provided to
enable a Montreal' operator to
dial•a Toronto number herself, in-
stead of asking an, operator in
Toronto to do so for her. She
circuit,

"Toronto rat
"'Ira ,
'listens' for the dial tone in the
Toronto exchange, and dials the -
number required, just • as • one
would make a local call!
Although for the present this,
system. is -still -cin an -experimental.
'•basis, it is expectedthat it will be
extended as the dial system is in
troduced in more and more towns
and cities. In the not -too -distant ,

One of the odd enterprises in this

l e cashier does sometimes raise an
eyebrow and repeat "forty cents" with
a slight interrogatory inflection of voice
if she 'has suspicions,'; but there is ne
argument. Occasionally she gives the
high, sign to the manager if sloe `sus
pects .any . patron of cheating; end the
manager smilingly suggests to the pay-
ing customer when he arrives at the
cashier's desk that he
may have made de
an error. The number -of- 'attempted
petty larcenies runs to about two per
